love and courage

The opening chapter is about courage, and there are many hideous faces of wolves in the film. The protagonist is timid by nature, but his father insists that he learn to be brave. The protagonist can't understand it for a long time, and he is still afraid of many things, such as changing the light bulb, taking a plane...
A cute baby fell from the sky, so the protagonist has to face the things he fears, jumping from the 13-story building into the pool and going to the studio Be the most dangerous substitute. The protagonist takes the child from Mexico to the United States to find the mother of the child. They have been living in Los Angeles until the child is 7 years old, but the protagonist has never learned to speak English (even the communication at work is done by the child. Not learning English is that design I have not been able to understand). The child grew up quickly, and the father and daughter lived happily. The foreshadowing of the story lies in the protagonist's excessive doting on the child. At first, the director deliberately concealed the fact that the little girl was sick. Many laughing scenes, including going to the clinic to see a doctor, were based on the fear of the protagonist, and the scene of the girl giving injections flashed by. There will be no spoilers for the later story~~~ In the
story, the love of the "father" for the child is very simple, very persistent, and really touching. At the end of the film, the protagonist says that he finally understands that his father is trying to teach him the courage to overcome everything.
The plot design of the whole film is relatively ingenious. It does not simply describe the father's love for the child. The courage runs through the whole film, interspersed with many detailed descriptions of the protagonist.
Worth a look.

    It's the wrong type, it's actually a parent-child romance drama. The first five and four points are basically leftovers from other movies, and the director obviously hates lesbian lesbians, and the rest are joking jokes. The woman who came back to fight for children because she became a lesbian is really tolerable even as a woman. Can't go on (so the child must be the mother's, but not necessarily the father's). But it is still understandable that in the United States, the reason for being spoiled will not be understood until the last minute.

    Very beautiful picture, very beautiful story. However, I guessed the ending, but I guessed the wrong object.
